Penn of DennIt seems these days, people are either talking about the election or about the markets. Sometimes they talk about both, wondering how the elections will affect the markets or conversely, how the markets will affect the elections.Now the closest I come to the markets, is that's where my RRSP contributions end up and…
But Now I’m Found
I've always been pretty good at reacting, so in response to my aimless meandering through Toronto last month, I bought a GPS. Kind of geeky, but a cool toy for $99.00. And it's really neat. You can put in where you want to go and not only will it tell you the best way to…
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
Penn of DennI once was lost, but now I'm found. Not just the words of a great hymn, but a description of my trip to Toronto a couple of weeks ago. I had flown into Toronto and was heading to Buffalo, New York for a meeting and missed the exit for the QEW. I must…
Seeing Clearly
Penn of DennAngela and I went downtown last week and went for a walk in the Public Gardens and when I went to read a sign, I suddenly realized that everything was just a little bit fuzzy. And then I realized that I wasn't wearing my glasses. Because I wear my glasses all the time,…
Horton Like
Penn of DennI could hardly believe my eyes. My little red car was in pieces, all over the body shop floor. I had left it behind two weeks before, to have some work done on the fenders and rocker panels, but it looked like it had progressed a little bit further than that. The owner…
Hello Fall
Penn of DennWell folks, here is the reality: Summer is over. I know it's not officially over until September 21st, but for all intensive purposes, summer is tout fini! The kids are back in school, the nights are getting cooler and a certain normalcy is returning to our lives. So I thought I'd take this…
Letter to the Church: Ephesus
It was the first of the seven. Out of all the church in all the countries Jesus singled out these seven to originally receive the message of the Revelation, but before they were to read the book Jesus had a message for them. You ever wonder why? Why not just jump in with all the…
Letter to the church Intro
One letter, seven churches. Most of us are familiar with the Revelation of John, the last book in the New Testament, or at least we think we are. We've breezed through it pausing on the sensational bits, dragons, beasts with seven heads and ten horns and locust the size of Volkswagens. But for most of…
What a Ride
Penn of DennBonza! (that's Australian for awesome2). I had to travel to New Brunswick for meetings this week and as is my custom, I was renting a car for the trip. When I got to the agency, there was a brand new convertible in the yard, so I asked if they would give me a…
What is Your Canadian Idol
Anybody been watching Canadian Idol this season? I have just caught one episode and I really should make a confession here, I only watch it for the train wrecks in the first few weeks. The same with American Idol, I think I have only watched one season all the way through since American Idol debuted…
